That meant Blackstar sold 11,729 digital copies with fans unable to get their hands on CD or the limited edition vinyl.

Blackstar was released just two days before the singer’s passing at age 69 from liver cancer.

Michael Jackson had 23 singles in the ARIA Top 100 after his death, Bowie had eight songs re-enter the Australian Top 100 including Space Oddity (No.31), Heroes (No.36), Starman (No.37), Under Pressure (No.42) Let’s Dance (No.63), Lazarus (No.72), Changes (No.80) and Life on Mars (No.88.)

Bowie’s various record companies have been working overtime to manufacture more of his back catalogue with many fans keen to own physical copies of his albums.

That means when record stores have more stock Bowie should continue to dominate the chart over the next few weeks.
